Any affected person may at any time prior to final action on rezone, special use, or variance permit, if no hearing has been held on the application, petition the commission or board or respective council, in writing, to hold a hearing as required in section 5-14-7 of this chapter. Upon petition for a hearing, the hearing shall be held.
After a hearing, the commission, board or respective city council may:

B. Delay such a decision for a definite period of time for further study or hearing not to exceed sixty (60) days. (Ord. 09-507, 9-1-2009)
